So where did they do your iridotomy hole at? I have read that some doctors may still do it at the top of your eye, let's call that 12:00 in your field of vision. Mine was done at 3:00 in my field of vision. You talk about horizontal lines, which I did not have, but I think I have read of something similar to those who have the hole at 12:00.
I am guessing my doctor is still doing tattoos, but I have not seen him in years. Maybe you could even get to talk to him by phone first, I don't know. I saw him because he was the closest to my house of the very few doctors I saw online that did them.
There is no blockage of vision from the tattoo for me. I wonder if the doctor would have made it a little bigger if it would have stopped the ghosting issues 100 percent, but then I wonder if it could have blocked my vision some. As I said before, my cataract surgery made the rest of the ghosting image go away.
